My wifes 5 horses don't cost more than about five hundred a year for all , this includes me making the hay . Very few vet bills as long as the pasture doesn't have a lot of things in it to get hurt by . Solitary horses and highly stressed ( show ) horses have much higher vet bills than a herd does . Keep some rocks and sand in the pasture for the horses to walk over and hoof trimmings are reduced to twice a year or less . Do for the horse what you'd do for yourself and they'll stay healthy - Good quality food , good shelter , a dry place to stand year around to keep their feet healthy and close friends ( this could mean a burro or donkey to keep the horse company ) . After all a horse is a herd animal . Some horses are easier to keep than others . We have easy keepers - three Arabian's , one appaloosa and one mustang who's been owned by my wife since he was 5 months old and is now 27 . They are a LOT cheaper than children . The App has a very good sense of humor - I was planting willow shoots in a wet spot out in the pasture a few years ago about ten of them . I was going along and pushing a hole in the wet ground with a big stick to put the rooted shoots in and pressing them closed with my feet when I heard my wife laughing . I looked up and turned around and that horse was two trees behind me pulling each one up carefully and laying them back down on the ground . I didn't really believe what I was seeing till he pulled the last one up in front of me and taunted me with it just out of reach . I was mad but I had to laugh . He was like a 900 lb puppy . ...Randy
